2 CONNECTING THE FOXY CAR 1:10 ESC The speed controller can be connected to the motor by soldering the ESC motor cables directly to the motor terminals or with high quality connectors. Always use new connectors, which should be soldered carefully to the cables and insulated with heat shrink tube. Use only high quality connectors to connect the ESC to the power pack as well - 3,5 mm gold plated connectors (RCM Pelikan#7941), 4 mm (#7946) gold plated connectors or DEAN-T (#7949) for currents up to 70A and 6 mm (#7945) or 8 mm (#7948) gold plated connectors for even higher loads. Plug the UNI servo connector cable of the ESC to your receiver throttle output. The BEC votage stabilizer of your ESC will feed your receiver and servos from the power battery pack.

It is necessary to connect the Sensor wire to the Sensor socket on the ESC. Do not change the wires sequence. Connecting to a Sensorless Brushless motor When using a sensorless brushless motor, the Blue motor wire A, Yellow motor wire B and Orange motor wire C of the ESC can be connected to the motor terminals randomly. If the motor runs in the opposite direction, please swap any two of the three cables between the ESC and motor. Cooling Fan The cooling fan (nominal input voltage of the cooling fan is 12 V, max. voltage 14 V) is being fed by the FAN cable from the controller during the regular operation of the ESC. The FAN cable with servo connector allows you to cool down the ESC without the car power pack being connected during the

3 pit stop. Simply disconnect the cable and use a regular 4-10cell NiCd/NiMH or 2-3S Li-po pack to feed the cooling fan. Keep the correct polarity of the FAN cable as marked on the ESC. ESC Status LEDs - Detection of Sensored and Sensorless function Once the input power wires of the ESC are connected to the battery pack, the ESC automatically identifies the motor type (Sensored/Sensorless), the result is signalled by the status LEDs. PROGRAMMING THE FOXY CAR 1:10 ESC Throttle Range Calibration When the ESC is to be used for the first time with a particular transmitter you must perform the Throttle Range Calibration first. 1. Turn on your transmitter, set the EPA/ATV value of the throttle channel to +/-100%. 2. Hold the red Set button (located on the ESC switch body) and switch on the ESC, wait for about 4 seconds until only the orange LED is on, then release the Set button. 3. Pull the throttle trigger to full throttle; the red LED starts to blink and after a moment goes on solid and the motor beeps. If no LED goes on, but the red LED will go on if the throttle stick is pushed to the full reverse/brake position, you have to reverse the throttle channel direction on your transmitter first. Then return to the Step 2 and start the calibration procedure again. 4. Push the throttle trigger to full brake (reverse); the orange LED blinks and Sensored/Sensorless ESC - Status LEDs Status of the function LED LED Status Low voltage of the battery Red LED Blinking Overheat of the ESC (95 C) Orange LED Blinking Sensored motor Red and Orange LED ON Sensorless motor Orange LED ON Sensorless only ESC - Status LEDs Status of the function LED LED Status Low voltage of the battery Red LED Blinking Overheat of the ESC (95 C) Orange LED Blinking Sensorless motor Orange LED ON after a moment goes on solid and the motor beeps. 5. Now return the throttle trigger to the neutral position, both of the red LED and orange LED will blink simultaneously and after a moment goes on solid, the motor beeps. Then both red LED and orange LED go off. The throttle range calibration has been successfuly accomplished. 6. Turn off the ESC power switch. 7. Turn the ESC back ON. You are ready to use your ESC now.

4 Programmable Functions and Default Settings Value PCO Cut-off Voltage 2.6V/cell 2.8V/cell 3.0V/cell 3.2V/cell 3.4V/cell No Protection Running Mode Forward w/o Reverse Forward / Pause / Reverse Forward/ Reverse Motor Timing Very Low Low Normal High Very High Initial Acceleration Low Medium High Very High Throttle Percent Reverse 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 90% 100% Throttle Limit 0% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 90% Percentage Braking 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 100% Percentage Drag Brake 0% 4% 8% 12% 15% 20% 25% 30% Motor Rotation Normal Reverse Neutral Range 2% 3% 4% 5% 6% 10% Default settings are shown in the grey shaded cells. 1. PCO Cut-Off Voltage Automatic detection of the number of cells If the voltage of the battery is less than 9 V, the ESC will automatically detect 2S LiPos. If the voltage of the battery pack is within 9-12 V, the ESC will automatically detect 3S LiPos - no matter the type of battery is actually connected. LiPo Batteries: Set up the required low voltage cut-off threshold by the programming card. The ESC constantly detects the Voltage of the battery and will cut off the motor once the voltage of the battery is lower than the preset Low Voltage Cutoff Threshold. Li-Fe Batteries: A123 LiFePO4 batteries may not be discharged under 2.8 V per cell - so set the cut-off voltage threshold to 2.8 V (or to 3.0 V if you required and extra safety margin). Do NOT disable the cut-off protection (No Protection) if you are using lithium batteries! NiCd/NiMH Batteries: When using 6-cell NiMH or NiCd packs you do not need to set a cut-off voltage to protect your batteries. The ESC will automatically identify 2S LiPos - the default cut-off threshold value is OK for 6-cell NiXX packs. However, if you are using more than 6-cell NiMH or NiCd packs, you must adjust the cutoff voltage. For example, if you are using an 8-cell pack of NiMH batteries you would need the cutoff threshold between V (8 x 0.8 V = 6.4 V; 8 x 1. 0 V = 8.0 V). The ESC will automatically detect the pack as 3S LiPo (8-cell NiMH pack nominal voltage is 9.6 V, max. voltage 12 V) - so you have to set the cut-off threshold to 2.6 V to match the required range (3 x 2.6 V = 7.8 V threshold voltage).

5 2. Running Mode Forward / Pause / Reverse: (DEFAULT) Preferred general bashing around (FUN) mode (or racing mode if reverse is allowed for the event). The electronic speed controller requires 2 seconds of continuous neutral from the transmitter prior to allow reverse run. It means you have to wait for 2 seconds until you can continue running in the oposite direction. The pause allows your model to stop completely and ensures good protection of the gear train of your car. Forward w/o Reverse / Brake This is a race setting - reverse is disabled. The use of the reverse if usually forbidden in most contests. Forward / Reverse If this option is activated, the RC car could go forward and backward, but couldn t brake. Please note that rapid changes of the running direction (forward/reverse and vice versa) can cause serious damage to the gear train of your car. It is always better to allow your car to stop completely before pushing the throttle trigger for the reverse run (and vice versa). 3. Motor Timing This option affects the power band and efficiency (running time) of an electric motor. The default is Normal and it is a good starting point to deliver power and provide good running time. Very Low: Provides maximum efficiency with less power. Higher timing produces significantly more power but at the expense of efficiency (shorter running time) and typically the motor will generate more heat. Each brushless motor will respond to timing differently. Good for running around on paved, or harder surfaces, and racing with high KV rated or low-turn motors. Low: Provides power for running through soft surfaces, having fun and longer runnning time. Normal (Default): Good mix of power and efficiency using any motor. High: More power and higher consumption - so running time will be reduced, and you should monitor motor temperature. The higher KV or lower turn motors will generate heat quickly using this setting. A safe high temperature range is 165 F to 180 F (74-82 C), going higher may damage your motor permanently. Very high: This is maximum power and must be used with caution and with continuous temperature checking. Note: Any motor has the potential to over-heat in this setting. Frequently check the motor temperature and make sure you re not operating higher than 165 and 180 F (74-82 C), which may damage your motor, or damage your Electronic Speed Controller (ESC). 4. Initial Acceleration Use this function to limit the initial power that is delivered to the motor when starting from a complete stop. Using the LOW option, the vehicle will launch very slowly and provide the longest run times. When using the HIGH setting, you will have wheel-spinning acceleration at the cost of run time. This is also very tough on the batteries as the start-up current can be very high. If your vehicle cuts out, hesitates or loses radio control, you should consider setting a lower value. Low: Using this option will provide longer run times and is easiest on the batteries. It is a good choice for beginners. Medium: Requires more from your batteries, and is good for low traction surfaces. High: This option will provide full acceleration and requires high C batteries to supply the load required in this setting.

6 Very high: This option will provide full acceleration and requires extra high C batteries to supply the load required in this setting. 5. Throttle Percent Reverse Use this function to limit the power available for the reverse run. The lower the percent the less speed will be available in reverse. 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60% (Default), 70%, 80%, 90%, 100% 6. Throttle Limit Use this function to limit the power available using forward throttle. The lower the percent the more forward throttle speed will be available. 0%(Default), 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90% 7. Percentage Braking Gives you the ability to have full control over the amount of brake your vehicle will have. 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50% (Default), 60%, 70%, 80%, 100% 8. Percentage Drag Brake - 0%, 4% (Default), 8%, 12%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30% The drag brake function allows to set the effect of brake when the throttle trigger is resting in the neutral position. This will create the feel of a brushed motor. Drag brake is used in racing to slow a vehicle as you let off approaching a corner versus the driver having to push the brake at every corner. Try working with this to get a sense of how you might use this for your track. If you are running on a high traction track with tight corners, a stronger setting should work best. If you are running in an open area, you will find a smaller percentage will result in better control. If you are running on dusty or slippery surfaces, you will more than likely want to use the lowest option. 9. Motor Rotation Normal (default), Reverse 10. Neutral Range This setting adjusts the width of deadband around the neutral of the throttle trigger. The smaller the value the narrower the deadband is - the smaller off-centre movement is required to begin accelerate for the ESC. Using a higher value for this setting will provide a wider deadband. 2%, 3%, 4% (Default), 5%, 6%, 10% SAFETY PRECAUTIONS - Put your car on a stand with all wheels in the air or do not install the drive pinion on the motor when you test the ESC and motor for the first time to verify the correct settings on your radio. Only install the pinion after you have confirmed that the settings on your radio is correct. - Never use ruptured or punctured battery cells. - Never use battery packs that are known to overheat. - Never short circuit battery or motor terminals. - Always use proper insulation material for cable insulation. - Always use proper cable connectors. - Do not exceed the number of cells or servos specified for the ESC. - Wrong battery polarity will damage the ESC and void the warranty. - Install the ESC in a suitable location with adequate ventilation for cooling. This ESC has a built-in over temperature cutoff protection feature that will cut power to the motor once the ESC temperature exceeds the 203 F/ 95 C temperature limit. - Use only batteries that are supported by the ESC and ensure the correct

7 polarity before connecting. - Switch your transmitter ON first and ensure the throttle trigger is in the neutral position before connecting the battery pack. - Never switch your transmitter OFF while the battery is connected to your ESC. - Only connect your battery pack just before running and do not leave your battery pack connected after running. Even the ESC you have switched off draws a certain current that would cause deep discharge of your power pack with a risc of damege or even fire. - Handle your model with extreme care once the battery pack is connected. Do not touch any rotating parts. - Do not touch the motor and ESC of your car immediately after running - these parts may be very hot! HOW TO USE THE FOXY CAR 1:10 PROGRAMMING CARD 1. Unplug the servo cable of your ESC from the receiver and plug it into the right top-socket on the programming card. Turn on the ESC; wait for 2 seconds until the LED on the card is on. 2.
